Thank you for the Front Page, Newgrounds! :D

You are stuck inside a nightmare dream. Something lurks in the darkness... Something in the depths of your own mind wants to pull you even deeper. Someone will escape this dream for sure. The question is - who is that going to be?

A masterpiece of point 'n click horror.

Deep Sleep relies on the classic point 'n click formula - click your mouse to traverse, interact, and collect, using items in your inventory to solve puzzles and progress. However, with its desolate and dark environments, haunting sound design, morbid imagery and extremely well placed interactive scares, Deep Sleep manages to use this basic gameplay formula to create a gripping feeling of dread and unease, like a nightmare.

The traversal and puzzles take patience - some backtracking will be necessary - but persevere and you won't regret it, this game is more than worth the effort. Highly recommended!

Eventually I gave in and bought Don't Escape 4. I love how much creative effort you've put into your gaming universe. That is, the story behind it. Looking at your submission history, this is the first game in your universe, yet with the line, "Little Cody is lost without his tiger plushie," you reference a character is your last game. It's just awesome being able to piece together a larger story over the years.

I'm really happy you liked it and thank you for the support! Make sure to wishlist the upcoming Deep Sleep on Steam too and check out the demo :D

All this time later, and it's classic. I can see why it's so highly reviewed; it's a great point 'n click, and for being so simple, the shadow people are genuinely unnerving.

congrats, had a grown ass man shit himself out of fright playing that, absolutely love it 10/10

great game
